Remarks

Note
This attribute may only be used in an assembly which has a GuidAttribute applied to the assembly.

This attribute registers a path that should be probed for candidate assemblies at assembly load time. For example, the following would register the "PackageFolder" (i.e. the location of the pkgdef file) as a directory to be probed for assemblies to load.

Copy

[...\VisualStudio\10.0\BindingPaths\{5C48C732-5C7F-40f0-87A7-05C4F15BC8C3}]
"$PackageFolder$"=""

Extensions which are compiled using Visual Studio 2012+ may apply this attribute to the assembly. Extensions which are compiled using Visual Studio 2010 (including for testing purposes) must apply this attribute to a class. In either case, the output produced by the attribute is equivalent.

Copy

// This attribute is placed on a class due to a limitation in the Visual Studio 2010 SDK.
[ProvideBindingPath]
internal sealed class RegistrationClass { }

Thread Safety

Any public static (Shared in Visual Basic) members of this type are thread safe. Any instance members are not guaranteed to be thread safe.
